Fantastic experience - highly recommended!
We have recently returned from a 3 day Safari to Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Best company we could find. Everything right on time and according to schelude. Our driver, Mohamad was really professional and friendly. He spotted so many animals and was more than happy to stop when we wanted. In the first day, we stayed at safari lodge "Ashnil Aruba" Tsavo East - we felt welcomed and quite at home with the friendly staff and beautiful spacious rooms and scenery. The food was delicious and restaurant staff went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied. Second day, we stayed at safari lodge "Kilaguni Serena" Tsavo West. Wonderful hotel, impeccable service, breath-taking views from the dining area/lounge, very good food. It was by far the best of lodges we visited during our safari.
The price was excellent compared to other agencies! Don't miss to organize the Safari with Marco. He is the best in Diani beach.
I would definitely recommend Marco Polo Safaris! Thank you again and see you next time.
Thank you Marco! Thank you Mahomad!
Best regards,

Amazing Safari Experience
From my first contact with Makasa, Selma worked to answer my questions and provide me with quality information about safari options in Tanzania. She went above and beyond to help us put together a safari experience that would be fantastic, and yet stay within our budget. Makasa allows a family to have a safari experience that meets their needs. It was great to be able to travel with just our family of five - and see so much of Northern Tanzania. We absolutely loved the safari and have lots of great memories. Timsifu "Tom" Ayo was an amazing guide! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and always concerned about our safety and enjoyment. We felt very blessed to have him, and we know that he worked hard to make sure we were able to see lots of animals and experience the amazing national parks to the fullest. The accommodations were great - always clean, with comfortable beds, showers, and in great locations. The meals that were included in the package were delicious and there was always plenty of yummy food in the boxed lunches. Selma also arranged for in country flights, so we could experience the island of Zanzibar. I highly recommend Makasa Safaris.

Great Migration safari in Masai Mara
We just finished one of the best safari in Kenya . We were so lucky to witness migration in Mara River . I thank Maggie for advising us to come now instead of May and indeed the wait has paid well.
Our driver Patrick was amazing and explained to us everything about the migration .This was the sole reason for visiting Masai Mara and am glad our dreams came true.

Maasai Mara and Zanzibar package
Well organised, excellent choice of accommodation and transportation (flying). Easy to communicate with our agent who made several changes to the itinerary for us without fuss.

We had a booking for 3 day masai mara safari with ACZ safaris and it was good, they are a little more expensive that operators offering the same program, but all went fine

Everyone at hello Tanzania was absolutely amazing.
The whole trip was wonderful. All of our tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and super accommodating. The camp that we stayed at was beautiful with great staff and good food. Our safari was breathtaking. Overall I would highly recommend hello Tanzania to anyone and everyone.

Outstanding knowledge of where to go and excellent service.
This was our third safari with Encompass Africa. That shows that it is an outstanding knowledgeable and professional travel agent. They secured for us at three camps in Botswana & Zambia four nights for the price of three. No other guests we met had that offered to them! In addition we were given the best of the camps accommodation. We were completely satisfied with the camps we stayed at. Having a 24x7 agent in Jo'burg to assist in any matters that may arise shows their commitment to their customers. We would without hesitation use them again for our next African safari.

Warning - do NOT book your air ticket with day safari adventure
I booked a return ticket to Australia on the 12th June 2017 and deposited Kshs 150,000 into Day Safari Adventure's account.
First she promised to get an emirates ticket, two days later no ticket then she said she was waiting for an upgrade then on before the date of travel she changed to Qatar and send out the itinerary. On arriving the airport, the ticket had been cancelled. 3 weeks later No refunds up to today and Amanda will NOT pick up calls she will only reply to text messages with excuses galore. I had to buy another ticket over the counter inevitable costing more!! Am in the process of instigating an official complaint to relevant authorities once i get all information in place - I will update this forum with the outcome

Gracious hosts and excellent game finders
After visiting both the school and orphanage project as well as taking a 5 day organized safari, Peace Matunda earned my highest recommendation on all accounts. Kaaya, Peace Matunda’s founder and director, worked directly with me and my husband to coordinate a safari itinerary that included the specific highlights we were hoping to see. This included a well-organized tour of three parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, & Ngorongoro) as well as a Maasai village visit and various stops for cultural shopping and education along the way – all while fitting our budget and accommodating last minute changes to our travel schedule. He, his family and the students of the school and orphanage provided welcoming and friendly hospitality to us while we overnighted at the School and Orphanage site. If you’re looking to support a Safari company who utilizes the funds to support the local Arusha area community through education & employment, Peace Matunda is a highly worthy organization. They reinvest some safari profits back into the school and orphanage project & employ well-experienced safari guides from the Meru community. Our guide (Gaspar Gadiel) was especially knowledgeable about local culture and a consummate naturalist, providing information and answering wide-ranging questions about all the wildlife so many come to see. Yes - we saw the big five and many more! Our guide impressed us further by having additional expertise in birds, insects, and plants of each park. Our experienced safari chef (Habibo) prepared well-rounded meals of meats, vegetables, grains and fruits with traditional Meru dishes available on request. Accommodations at both the school site as well as on safari were clean and comfortable (cushioned cots are provided in large tents so there was no sleeping on the ground). I highly recommend working with Peace Matunda to design a safari that works for you.
